A company produces packets of soap powder labeled "Giant Size 32 Ounces." The actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a N

ormal distribution with a mean of 33 oz and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. To avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. To avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight. What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)? .9236 .0764 .2420 .7580

Answer:

0.0764

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 33, \sigma = 0.7

What proportion of boxes is underweight (i.e., weigh less than 32 oz)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 32. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{32 - 33}{0.7}

Z = -1.43

Z = -1.43 has a pvalue of 0.0764, which is the correct answr

You coach a basketball ball team of 12 players; 5 players must be on the floor at all times; Figuring that every player can play
makvit [3.9K]
The function "choose k from n", nCk, is defined as
  nCk = n!/(k!*(n-k)!) . . . . . where "!" indicates the factorial

a) No position sensitivity.
The number of possibilities is the number of ways you can choose 5 players from a roster of 12.
  12C5 = 12*11*10*9*8/(5*4*3*2*1) = 792
You can put 792 different teams on the floor.

b) 1 of 2 centers, 2 of 5 guards, 2 of 5 forwards.
The number of possibilities is the product of the number of ways, for each position, you can choose the required number of players from those capable of playing the position.
  (2C1)*(5C2)*(5C2) = 2*10*10 = 200
You can put 200 different teams on the floor.
